Opis

Fact not fiction - "The Untold Story of One Man and World War 2" is the actual memories of a man from a six-cow dairy farm in Missouri who survived. The printed words bring to life the thoughts, the hopes,the prayers, and the fears and dramatize the personal relationships with shipmates from around the world of one young sailor in a very big war.
